Flopped straight ... FPS or valid line?

Very early in my session at this table, so no meaningful reads.

Preflop:

Hero is CO with K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: (5.50 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

(Whoohoo! I bet he got a piece of that, too ...)

UTG+1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, Hero calls.

(I generally call a raise on the flop and raise the turn in these spots when heads up.)

Turn: (4.75 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

(Meh. Now I may be splitting ... if he has AT, so be it.)

<font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 3-bets</font>, Hero calls.

(I put him on a set when he three-bet, and thought for 10 seconds. Here's what I came up with ... if I just call and the river pairs the board or is a ten, I'll save money just calling the river. If the board doesn't pair, I can raise the river. I expect him to call when I do. (I would call a three-bet, but believe that's unlikely.)

River: (10.75 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

(Blech.)

<font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, Hero calls.

He just as easily could have had QK and made 2 pair on the turn. Automatically putting someone on a set seems a little rash. Even if he does have a set, you are still a 4-1 favorite. Cap when you are that far ahead.
